Red Sox would reportedly consider trading shortstop Franklin Arias only for a star, per Boston Globe's Speier.
Fan blogs SB Nation and Over the Monster relay Alex Speier's report that some in the organization view Arias as almost untouchable. Ian Browne of MLB.com argues a big trade is less likely this offseason and that free agency could be the route Breslow explores most.

Red Sox are unlikely to prioritize re-signing free agent Sonny Gray, per Boston Globe's Alex Speier.
Speier made the suggestion on NESN's 310 to Left podcast, saying Boston's interest would likely be muted in the short term. Gray declined his side of a $30 million mutual option for 2027 and took a $10 million buyout, then posted a 2.72 ERA across 29 starts for Boston. Gray said he still wants to win a World Series, whether with Boston or elsewhere.
